Clinical Documentation is at the Core of H/C Reform nvt

I could not agree more and and have referred to the loss of
knowledge and the nuanced information in the narrative resulting
in the dumbing down of clinical notes and the Henry VIII's cause
of death debate
(we still debate this 463 years after he dies) and indeed in
recent presentations on the ability to keep the narrative and
structured data in harmony in my presentation at AHIMA: "Clinical
Narrative and Structured Data in the EHR: Venus and Mars Live in
Harmony with CDA4CDT"

coexist happily providing the value described here.
At the end of the day clinicians will use whatever method is most
efficient for them at the time they need it with different methods
suiting at different times. See a more detailed response Here"
